About David R. Weiss, DDS
In 1979, after graduating from the prestigious dental school at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco, Dave worked for the Indian Health Service on the Tohono O’dom reservation, while building his private practice, joining his father, Michael Weiss, a Phoenix dentist since the early 50s. As his practice grew, Dr. Dave left the Indian Health Service, but continued his commitment to underserved people, by volunteering weekly at St. Joseph’s Hospital’s Mercy Care Dental Clinic, and now by seeing refugee patients, especially children. With 35 years of experience, Dr. Dave has “seen it all,” but he attends numerous continuing education courses to keep his skills and knowledge sharp, always with an eye to providing the best possible care for his patients. Quality, consistency and personal attention are hallmarks of David’s practice. He truly sees his patients as his dental family. Many have been with him for 30 years or more and he and his staff have watched children grow up, go to college, and have children of their own…who then become his patients. In his spare time, Dr. Dave enjoys scuba diving, sailing and is an avid cyclist. He co-founded a group of 50-some road-bikers who ride together three days a week. Known for his humor and easy-going style, Dr. Dave loves his work, looks forward each day to hearing what’s new in his patients’ lives—and keeping their smiles bright. “I consider myself very lucky to be able to work with the patients I have had through the years. Whether it’s a cosmetic procedure, a filling, a crown, a bridge an extraction or just a cleaning, I do my best to meet each patient’s needs. I’m honored by the trust my patients have in my abilities. In this age of impersonal medicine, I feel blessed to offer a personal alternative to the large faceless dental clinic.
